Humidity Haze and After the Rains

In Djibouti one can understand the ongoing need for rain. After days of no rain, what we call humidity haze hides the mountains and sits over the water like a thin veil. John and I saw the same effect in South Africa. The extreme heat and humidity mix together with particulate matter in the air and form a haze that goes on for miles. The humidity haze even obscures the sun and turns it a golden hue as in the first picture above.

But, after the rains, the air is clean and clear. You can see for miles and miles. It is a welcome change.
